merchants should wake up and look out
for such trade. Where the farmer
sells his produce he spends his money
and after few such trials he is dis
gusted with the market In conse-

merchants should make a market for
everything brought in by them, if the
profit is not SO large. Don't let them
go out. Look out for the good Of the
town at large as well as your own
pocket. This is what booms town
and makes it solid. Let the farmers
understand that they can market
everything they raise at Alma as well
as other towns.
